"A Hell of a Pregnancy"
Premise: Melinda, a down-to-earth, clumsy librarian in a small, quirky New England town, has just found out that she's pregnant after a bizarre encounter at a local supernatural-themed carnival. But it's not just any pregnancy – she's bearing the Antichrist, as revealed by an eccentric, flamboyant psychic named Madame Zara. After the initial shock (and a good deal of denial), Melinda must cope with the challenges of an ordinary pregnancy, like cravings, morning sickness, and mood swings, while also dealing with decidedly less ordinary ones, such as strange cravings for brimstone-flavored ice cream, sudden fluency in dead languages, and the spontaneous combustion of furniture.
Characters:
Melinda Simmons: A a librarian in her early 30s with a love for fantasy novels and an unfaltering belief in the supernatural. Despite her peculiar interests, she's never quite managed to have an encounter of her own... until now. Now faced with the prospect of birthing the Antichrist, Melinda must balance her maternal instincts with the desire to prevent the possible end of the world.
Doris Watson: Melinda's snarky best friend and comic-book enthusiast coworker. Always the one to crack a joke in the face of danger, Doris provides comic relief in even the most terrifying circumstances. Doris is Melinda's rock throughout her pregnancy, never batting an eyelash at the increasingly bizarre events that unfold.
Madame Zara: Madame Zara is the flamboyant psychic who reveals Melinda's pregnancy and the fate of her child. She's dramatic, eccentric, and perpetually unfazed by the chaos around her. Her prophecies are as cryptic as they are melodramatic, but there's no denying her supernatural abilities.
Raphael: Raphael is an anxious angel, assigned by the powers that be to guide Melinda and her unborn child towards the path of good. However, his fear of humans and general lack of experience lead to many comical blunders and misadventures.
Asmodeus: Asmodeus is a demon with a wicked sense of humor and a severe allergy to anything holy. He is supposed to tempt Melinda towards the dark side, but his plans often go awry, resulting in hilarious situations.
Entity Z: Entity Z is a self-proclaimed neutral being from another dimension, who simply enjoys being around the chaos and partaking in the free food. Nobody really knows why he's there, but his love for the drama and his strange wisdom often help Melinda make sense of her situation.
Father O'Reilly: Father O'Reilly is the town's good-natured but slightly oblivious priest. Unaware of the full extent of Melinda's predicament, he often pops up at the most inopportune times, causing all manner of divine and demonic entities to scramble.
